@Ekopalypse
This issue has been fixed for sure, in my way.
What @SinghRajenM has tried to say is my assumption for the cause of bug is not correct and there’s more correct way to fix it.
Sorry for the confusion.

I was not able to reproduce crash on x64. Though, I didn’t use RC3 binary. But I used the latest code complied using VS2019.

Now with the new change we may get sudden surprises as NppParameters dtor is not called which does some cleanup. Even though, we are calling NppParameters::destroyInstance(), but this call does not delete NppParameters's object which is a local static pointer variable of function static NppParameters& getInstance().
